Psychotherapy is essentially an art. It deals with the art of life.
A psychotherapist is a kind of artist.
This view flies in the face of medical doctors or pharmacists who are simply applying chemical and brain solutions to persons experiencing deep mental health and existential issues in life.
”Are you HMO?” “Are you licensed?”
It appears that legal or licensure boards are objectifying and commercializing mental health treatment. They do so by making a science or legality out of the art of life and form of art called psychotherapy.
Those who are excellent helping psychotherapists developed their knowledge and understanding not just through study or theory but through actual life experience and intuition.
Whereas many of today’s mental health professionals are more confined or grounded in pharmaceutical or empirical researches.
They are conceptualizing treatment focused only on removing symptoms rather than healing deep wounds that are the result of trauma, neglect, dysfunction, and attachment disorder.
I hope now you can understand why psychotherapy is essentially an art form with a special healing function.
